MAIREAD: This is Ireland's Fittest
Family quarter-finals.

00:08.359 --> 00:10.240 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Just eight families remain.

00:10.240 --> 00:12.560 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Welcome to a muddy hell.

00:16.960 --> 00:20.640 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Throughout the competition, these
families will push themselves

00:20.640 --> 00:23.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
both physically and mentally to their
limits,

00:23.199 --> 00:27.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
taking on some of the toughest
terrains in the country.

00:29.120 --> 00:34.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
At every step of the way, our
families are being trained

00:34.200 --> 00:37.280 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
by four of Ireland's top sporting
stars.

00:37.280 --> 00:38.079 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DAVY: Come on, guys!

00:38.079 --> 00:39.240 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: Start to move!

00:39.240 --> 00:40.560 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: Oh my God, they're gonna hit
each other!

00:40.560 --> 00:42.200 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Here we go, guys!

00:42.200 --> 00:43.880 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Our coaches don't do compromise,

00:43.880 --> 00:48.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and with their reputations on the
line, they are desperate to win.

00:48.039 --> 00:52.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The last family standing will win for
themselves 15,000 euro

00:52.079 --> 00:55.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and the title of
Ireland's Fittest Family 2019.

01:07.760 --> 01:13.760 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
Yes, for the next two weeks,
we are here in Hell And Back

01:13.760 --> 01:15.599 line:77% position:50% size:80%
in Kilruddery, Co Wicklow,

01:15.599 --> 01:18.280 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
where our families will either be
swamped in glory

01:18.280 --> 01:21.040 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
or will dive right out of the
competition.

01:22.120 --> 01:27.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: Hell And Back for me is
classic Ireland's Fittest Family.

01:27.200 --> 01:28.680 line:83% position:50% size:80%
It is about the swamps.

01:28.680 --> 01:29.760 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Don't give up, Nick!

01:29.760 --> 01:32.799 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It's about getting just dirty and
keep going.

01:32.799 --> 01:34.120 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Let's go, come on!

01:34.120 --> 01:37.799 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: It stinks, there's flies
everywhere, it's nasty.

01:37.799 --> 01:39.640 line:83% position:50% size:80%
All out, go, go!

01:39.640 --> 01:41.280 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: I don't care how fit you
are.

01:41.280 --> 01:44.359 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Hell And Back is a test of how
mentally strong are you.

01:44.359 --> 01:45.840 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Every step for your mom, come on!

01:45.840 --> 01:48.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: There will be times that every
family will want to give up in this,

01:48.239 --> 01:52.760 line:83% position:50% size:80%
but only the toughest survive.

01:52.760 --> 01:56.439 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The four families are all arriving to
Hell And Back.

01:56.439 --> 01:58.760 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Competing tonight are Davy's Hogans,

02:00.439 --> 02:02.439 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Anna's Mahers,

02:03.000 --> 02:05.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Donncha's McSharrys

02:05.359 --> 02:07.359 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and Derval's Mandiangus.

02:07.359 --> 02:10.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But all the pressure is heaped on
Davy Fitz's shoulders

02:10.400 --> 02:13.319 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
because he's got just one family left
in the competition.

02:13.319 --> 02:15.319 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Game on, Davy!

02:19.000 --> 02:21.080 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: Davy 'One-team' Fitzgerald
has all his eggs in one basket,

02:21.080 --> 02:24.319 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but he's walking around confident
about it.

02:27.520 --> 02:29.120 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DAVY: The other coaches are pretty
smug at the moment.

02:29.120 --> 02:32.319 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Derval has three. Well, that's a bit
of a change from last year!

02:32.319 --> 02:34.680 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They're all smiling,
they're happy out.

02:34.680 --> 02:37.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I'm not fazed.
They can be that way.

02:37.240 --> 02:39.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: The rivalry is starting to
intensify.

02:39.759 --> 02:42.879 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You can see the tension slowly
starting to build.

02:42.879 --> 02:45.479 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Davy's got his back to the
wall, like a cut snake,

02:45.479 --> 02:48.400 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and I'm nervous being around him.

02:48.400 --> 02:54.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DAVY: Once I'm there in the final,
we'll see what the story is then.

02:54.800 --> 02:58.280 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Earlier in the week, Davy Fitzgerald
was getting the Hogans ready

02:58.280 --> 03:00.280 line:83% position:50% size:80%
for the quarter-finals.

03:00.960 --> 03:03.719 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Nice and relaxed now to start.

03:03.719 --> 03:06.520 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We're going into Hell And Back.
You could get anything there.

03:06.520 --> 03:08.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
There will be a bit of running,
going through bog.

03:08.800 --> 03:11.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Hell And Back will be tough. They
can throw anything at us on the day.

03:11.000 --> 03:14.120 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
But coming here today and doing
different things will prepare us for
that.

03:14.120 --> 03:15.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
That's it, swing through them,
good lad.

03:15.800 --> 03:17.479 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Jay surprised me today.

03:17.479 --> 03:20.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The amount of strength that little
lad has is incredible.

03:20.039 --> 03:24.319 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Jay will do the dog on it until he
wins.

03:24.319 --> 03:25.960 line:83% position:50% size:80%
The hay bales are hard to get over.

03:25.960 --> 03:29.439 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I'm very small so it was hard to
lift myself over.

03:29.439 --> 03:31.439 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Is he competitive? Massive!

03:31.439 --> 03:35.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
As Davy's final family, we're gonna
do it as much for him as for us

03:35.840 --> 03:37.879 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
to make sure he has a team in the
semi-finals.

03:37.879 --> 03:40.680 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We're gonna give this an
unbelievable go.

03:40.680 --> 03:44.080 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Earlier this week, Derval O'Rourke
was getting the Mandiangus prepared

03:44.080 --> 03:45.520 line:83% position:50% size:80%
for the quarter-finals.

03:45.520 --> 03:47.560 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: I'm here to talk tactics
with the Mandiangus

03:47.560 --> 03:52.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and do a bit of training to prepare
them for the next competition.

03:52.039 --> 03:55.120 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We did a session with Derval today.
It was a great circuit.

03:55.120 --> 03:57.919 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It puts us in the right mind frame
for Hell And Back.

03:57.919 --> 03:59.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Hell And Back is next. That means
we're in the quarter-finals.

03:59.759 --> 04:02.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It involves bog.
My nails and lashes, you know!

04:02.639 --> 04:05.120 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I don't want them getting into the
bog at all!

04:05.120 --> 04:07.120 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
My mother is absent. She had to help
out with the family,

04:07.120 --> 04:09.439 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but when she gets back,
we'll be at her again.

04:09.439 --> 04:11.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You guys are working really well as
a team.

04:11.400 --> 04:14.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
If we keep the heads held high and
we can handle it.

04:14.240 --> 04:17.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We're pumped and excited to go and
conquer Hell And Back.

04:18.399 --> 04:21.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Donncha's quarter-finalists are the
McSharrys from Sligo.

04:21.639 --> 04:24.040 line:83% position:50% size:80%
He's getting them into the zone.

04:24.040 --> 04:25.720 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Off you go.

04:25.720 --> 04:29.120 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I'm delighted with the McSharrys.
I think they can go the whole way

04:29.120 --> 04:31.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and I'll do everything I can to make
that happen.

04:31.759 --> 04:34.079 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Ho-ho, well done! Well blocked.

04:34.399 --> 04:38.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We're very competitive.
We just want to win.

04:38.079 --> 04:40.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
You're away, you're away!

04:40.000 --> 04:42.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Donncha had us doing some drills
that I'd never even heard of,

04:42.480 --> 04:43.839 line:83% position:50% size:80%
but they were lots of fun.

04:43.839 --> 04:45.279 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Ah, yous lost contact!

04:45.279 --> 04:47.600 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They're ultra-competitive and that's
not gonna change.

04:47.600 --> 04:51.439 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
And what I found out today
thankfully is they don't want me to
either. So it's good.

04:51.439 --> 04:53.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I think Donncha is the perfect coach
for us

04:53.199 --> 04:55.680 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
because he brings a light, kind of
funny side to us.

04:55.680 --> 04:59.879 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We're all very competitive and he
kind of lightens the mood a bit.

05:00.759 --> 05:02.839 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It had to get competitive,
didn't it?

05:03.680 --> 05:06.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Anna's quarter-finalists are the
Mahers.

05:06.000 --> 05:08.319 line:83% position:50% size:80%
She's been getting them focused.

05:08.360 --> 05:12.040 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: So start working together.
Ready, steady, go!

05:12.040 --> 05:15.759 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
Right now, I think what I can help
them with is their composure and
their calmness.

05:15.759 --> 05:17.560 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Composure was our biggest weakness.

05:17.560 --> 05:20.399 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We need to just channel that energy
in a positive way.

05:20.399 --> 05:24.120 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
If you suffer with nerves,
stretching will help you focus
your mind a bit.

05:24.120 --> 05:26.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It's all about the psychological
mindset element.

05:26.079 --> 05:27.319 line:83% position:50% size:80%
That's what we can help with.

05:27.319 --> 05:28.839 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Anna set out a drill for us

05:28.839 --> 05:31.399 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and it was to test how we react
under pressure.

05:31.399 --> 05:33.680 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The drill was a lot tougher than it
looked.

05:33.680 --> 05:35.439 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I think Dad struggled a bit at the
start.

05:35.439 --> 05:37.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
On your knees...well done.

05:37.519 --> 05:39.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
I don't like those drills!

05:40.959 --> 05:43.720 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
COMMENTATOR: Tonight is
Hell and Back.

05:43.720 --> 05:47.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
These four families will be pushed to
their physical limits.

05:47.079 --> 05:49.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The first challenge is a returning
favourite.

05:49.079 --> 05:50.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
It's Swamp Trek.

05:50.759 --> 05:54.040 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Then the four families will compete
in Devil's Creek.

05:54.040 --> 05:56.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The ultimate aim is to avoid the
Eliminator,

05:56.279 --> 06:00.879 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and in Hell and Back we know this is
going to be painful.

06:04.639 --> 06:10.160 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: The coaches are getting
their families ready for the day
ahead.

06:10.160 --> 06:12.120 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: You will experience a little
bit of hell today.

06:12.120 --> 06:17.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It is like bearing this weather and
feeling wet and tired and sore

06:17.000 --> 06:19.560 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and still looking ahead to what you
need to do.

06:19.560 --> 06:21.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
That is the most important thing
today.

06:21.480 --> 06:24.879 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And if we do that, I know we'll be
going ahead to the semi-finals.

06:24.879 --> 06:26.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: Now that we're here at
Hell And Back,

06:26.279 --> 06:28.399 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
how are you actually feeling about
it?

06:28.399 --> 06:30.959 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Well, I'm excited, as much for them.

06:30.959 --> 06:32.319 line:83% position:50% size:80%
You're always excited.

06:32.319 --> 06:34.399 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I think I could bring you to
anywhere and you'd be like,

06:34.399 --> 06:36.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Derval, I'm excited. Yes.
Which I like.

06:36.639 --> 06:40.399 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
To my right, is this the less
positive side?

06:40.399 --> 06:41.920 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Ray of sunshine.

06:41.920 --> 06:43.040 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Versus...

06:43.040 --> 06:46.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I don't mind. It's just...
it's full of bugs.

06:46.800 --> 06:48.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DAVY: You were the number one family
picked, right?

06:48.759 --> 06:51.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And the number one family picked for
the last years didn't win it.

06:51.000 --> 06:53.040 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
That's why I want us to be
different.

06:53.040 --> 06:56.319 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I want us to carry that favourite
tag.

06:56.319 --> 06:57.959 line:83% position:50% size:80%
I want us to take it on

06:57.959 --> 07:01.240 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
and I want us to show the rest of
them, yeah, we don't mind being
favourites,

07:01.240 --> 07:03.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
we're gonna do whatever it takes to
do this.

07:03.240 --> 07:05.160 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: The big thing for me with
Hell And Back is

07:05.160 --> 07:08.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
everything on its own you can do and
it doesn't look all that bad.

07:08.800 --> 07:12.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But put it all together...and even
small things...the bog stinks.

07:12.800 --> 07:14.839 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I think we should be good enough in
the mud

07:14.839 --> 07:17.439 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
if we can try and stick on the flat,
like don't get stuck in it.

07:17.439 --> 07:21.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Do you think the swimming background
will help with that?

07:21.240 --> 07:24.160 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
If there's enough water,
maybe I can swim along the top!

07:24.160 --> 07:28.120 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
There isn't water.
There is a pile of a bog!

07:28.120 --> 07:30.120 line:83% position:50% size:80%
I can give it a go.

07:30.120 --> 07:34.360 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: In both challenges today,
families will be awarded points

07:34.360 --> 07:37.600 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
for first, second, third and fourth
place.

07:37.600 --> 07:39.720 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Then the points will be added
together.

07:39.720 --> 07:44.120 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
The two families at the top of the
leaderboard will go straight through
to the semi-finals,

07:44.120 --> 07:48.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but the bottom two families will face
the Eliminator.

07:52.360 --> 07:54.360 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Welcome to Swamp Trek.

07:54.360 --> 07:59.000 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
This is where our families select two
members to take on this gruelling
race.

07:59.000 --> 08:02.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So expect mud, sweat,
and even a few tears

08:02.079 --> 08:04.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
as they try to be first onto the
pontoon.

08:08.560 --> 08:11.079 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
COMMENTATOR: For our four families,
the competition today is about to
begin.

08:11.079 --> 08:15.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
First up, it's the 2-person nominated
event, Swamp Trek.

08:15.240 --> 08:18.720 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The race starts with a quick dash to
the cliffhanger walls.

08:18.720 --> 08:22.319 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
If you fall here, you have to go back
to the start of the climb.

08:22.319 --> 08:26.600 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Then they trek through 100 metres of
energy-sapping bog.

08:26.600 --> 08:30.680 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Next it's out over a ladder, where
they face a 110 metres dash

08:30.680 --> 08:32.919 line:83% position:50% size:80%
to a high jump into the water.

08:32.919 --> 08:35.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
From there, it's a swim to the
platform.

08:35.559 --> 08:40.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The first two people onto the
platform win the race.

08:41.559 --> 08:45.720 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: It's decision time for the
coaches and families.

08:45.720 --> 08:48.039 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Which two will they select?

08:48.039 --> 08:50.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DAVY: Okay, I'm gonna be straight.
You're gonna be doing it.

08:50.639 --> 08:53.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Okay, that's it. It's who goes with
you is the next question.

08:53.840 --> 08:56.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And I think any of the three of you
are probably up to it.

08:56.480 --> 08:58.600 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I think Josh probably will be the
best option.

08:58.600 --> 09:02.200 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
The thing I'm looking forward to
seeing is how they're going to be in
the bog together.

09:02.200 --> 09:05.679 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
Because if I put them running
anything, I think they'll do very
well.

09:05.679 --> 09:06.919 line:83% position:50% size:80%
The bog is different.

09:06.919 --> 09:09.919 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
In this case, I think the two lads
are the best for energy.

09:09.919 --> 09:11.399 line:83% position:50% size:80%
They just have strength, endurance

09:11.399 --> 09:13.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and everything that is required for
this course.

09:13.960 --> 09:15.480 line:83% position:50% size:80%
So yeah, I definitely agree.

09:15.480 --> 09:18.120 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: I don't want to see any of the
two of you going ahead.

09:18.120 --> 09:19.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
You have to work together in this.

09:19.519 --> 09:22.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You're so much stronger as a two
than you are as individuals.

09:22.320 --> 09:23.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
It's dog-eat-dog inside there.

09:23.759 --> 09:26.679 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I need two people that are going to
go to war for their family

09:26.679 --> 09:28.360 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and I think the two guys will do
that.

09:28.360 --> 09:29.799 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: What are we thinking?

09:29.799 --> 09:34.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I think the two younger kids will be
the fittest. (Laughter)

09:34.279 --> 09:36.279 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Is that a side-step?

09:36.279 --> 09:39.919 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I want them to be tested without
being broken,

09:39.919 --> 09:43.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and Hell And Back can test you and
break you together.

09:43.000 --> 09:44.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: I know who I think should do
it

09:44.639 --> 09:47.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but I'm curious about what you
think.

09:47.200 --> 09:49.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The two lads. I'm thinking the two
lads as well.

09:49.440 --> 09:53.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
How do you feel about that?
I was thinking the two girls!

09:53.240 --> 09:56.600 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I wouldn't mind seeing them but...
That's okay. Anything I'll do.

09:56.600 --> 09:58.919 line:83% position:50% size:80%
She is actually hard core.

09:58.919 --> 10:03.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I would just hope that they can dig
deep and find that little bit extra

10:03.759 --> 10:06.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
because they're going to need it.

10:07.759 --> 10:13.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
COMMENTATOR: On the start line for
the Hogans, it's Tom and Josh.

10:13.279 --> 10:16.039 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Gilmar and Blair for the Mandiangus.

10:16.600 --> 10:19.120 line:83% position:50% size:80%
For the Mahers, Fionn and Nick.

10:19.440 --> 10:23.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And finally, it's Mauric and Mona for
the McSharrys.

10:23.759 --> 10:26.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
REF: 3,2,1... (Hooter sounds)

10:27.039 --> 10:31.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Away we go with Swamp Trek at
Hell And Back.

10:33.919 --> 10:36.679 line:83% position:50% size:80%
They're up to the cliffhanger walls.

10:36.679 --> 10:40.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Mona, looking good.
Nice and steady.

10:40.039 --> 10:42.679 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So Mauric went down in the water but
he's able to hang on.

10:42.679 --> 10:44.360 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Mona is behind him.

10:44.360 --> 10:49.159 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
If anybody goes in here, they have to
go back and take on the challenge
again.

10:49.159 --> 10:53.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So Gilmar Mandiangu out in front.
Fionn Maher behind him.

10:53.840 --> 10:57.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
A bit of a fall into the water,

10:57.960 --> 10:59.960 line:83% position:50% size:80%
but he's recovered.

11:01.799 --> 11:05.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Fionn Maher out in front,
Gilmar Mandiangu behind him.

11:05.960 --> 11:09.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Mauric McSharry in third at the
moment,

11:09.000 --> 11:13.360 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but this is where it will all close
up with our families.

11:13.360 --> 11:16.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Fionn Maher has a bit of daylight in
front and behind,

11:16.000 --> 11:18.600 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but you can see them jostling for
position

11:18.600 --> 11:21.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and it's getting quite physical
between our competitors.

11:21.039 --> 11:24.200 line:83% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: Well done, Fionn! Let's go!

11:24.200 --> 11:27.200 line:83% position:50% size:80%
They're trying to pick a way through.

11:27.200 --> 11:30.879 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Josh Hogan is out there with
Nick Maher.

11:30.879 --> 11:34.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So Fionn is just looking to see where
his dad Nick is.

11:34.279 --> 11:36.080 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Well done, guys.

11:36.080 --> 11:39.320 line:83% position:50% size:80%
But the terrain is just so difficult.

11:39.320 --> 11:41.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But Fionn Maher is powering through
this.

11:41.960 --> 11:45.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Gilmar Mandiangu is second.
Mauric McSharry is third.

11:45.720 --> 11:48.039 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Tom Hogan is fourth...oh!

11:48.039 --> 11:50.919 line:83% position:50% size:80%
And how do you deal with that?

11:50.919 --> 11:55.519 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Mona McSharry is the only female
competitor in this race.

11:56.879 --> 12:01.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Now they've slowed right down.
That is unbelievable stuff.

12:01.039 --> 12:05.600 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
And there's Josh Hogan. He's trying
to pull himself across the top of
that bog.

12:05.600 --> 12:08.360 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Fionn Maher up to the ladder.

12:08.360 --> 12:12.679 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Now, I wonder will he wait for his
dad Nick.

12:12.679 --> 12:14.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
They've got to stay together.

12:14.000 --> 12:17.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The coaches getting really involved
in this.

12:18.200 --> 12:23.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So there is Nick, and he's finding
this really tough going

12:23.279 --> 12:24.919 line:83% position:50% size:80%
because it IS tough.

12:24.919 --> 12:26.039 line:83% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: I need you now!

12:26.039 --> 12:30.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Josh being helped by his dad Tom for
the Hogans.

12:30.639 --> 12:34.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Mona McSharry would much rather be in
an Olympic swimming pool

12:34.200 --> 12:37.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but her strength and skill being used
here.

12:37.240 --> 12:39.720 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Here comes Nick Maher.
He's the oldest in the race.

12:39.720 --> 12:42.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Mauric McSharry is up at the top of
the ladder

12:42.759 --> 12:45.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but there's only one McSharry there.
There's Mona, his sister.

12:45.759 --> 12:47.639 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DAVY: Josh, move!

12:47.639 --> 12:50.960 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Josh Hogan has Tom battling away.

12:50.960 --> 12:54.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So Nick Maher is up the ladder and
away from the swamp

12:54.200 --> 12:55.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and Fionn, his son, waited for him.

12:55.759 --> 12:58.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So there is Mauric McSharry.
He's the leader on the road.

12:58.840 --> 13:00.919 line:83% position:50% size:80%
But Mona is a little bit behind.

13:00.919 --> 13:03.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The Mandiangus and the Hogans are
losing ground

13:03.440 --> 13:06.960 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
and their coaches, Derval and Davy,
will not be happy with these
performances.

13:06.960 --> 13:10.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But the race not over yet as Mona
McSharry comes away from the ladder.

13:10.840 --> 13:14.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So two McSharrys out and two Mahers
out.

13:14.200 --> 13:16.360 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And it's the battle here for third
and fourth

13:16.360 --> 13:18.679 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and it couldn't be tighter.

13:20.399 --> 13:25.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The Mahers are together. Here come
the Mandiangus and the Hogans.

13:25.480 --> 13:27.320 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Davy wants more from Josh Hogan

13:27.320 --> 13:30.600 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
as Mauric McSharry will be first to
take on the jump,

13:30.600 --> 13:33.840 line:83% position:50% size:80%
much to the delight of his family.

13:33.840 --> 13:40.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So here we go, this jump is just
under six metres into the cold water,

13:40.000 --> 13:42.120 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and Mauric McSharry quite at home
here.

13:42.120 --> 13:45.480 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
Here comes Mona as well, so the
McSharrys in pole position at the
moment.

13:45.480 --> 13:48.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Gilmar Mandiangu going well.
Here's Fionn Maher.

13:48.320 --> 13:52.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Remember, his dad Nick is just close
behind him.

13:52.480 --> 13:55.080 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So we'll have two Mahers into the
water very shortly.

13:55.080 --> 13:56.720 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Mauric McSharry is first up.

13:56.720 --> 14:00.399 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
There's Josh Hogan.
Davy working hard on him.

14:00.399 --> 14:02.080 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Fionn Maher will be over at the
pontoon.

14:02.080 --> 14:06.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Nick is really struggling, feeling
every metre of this race.

14:06.320 --> 14:10.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Into the water he goes, Nick Maher.
Fionn is almost at the pontoon.

14:10.200 --> 14:12.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Gilmar throws himself in,
Gilmar Mandiangu.

14:13.360 --> 14:17.120 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
This is all getting very tight in the
water.

14:17.639 --> 14:19.639 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Here comes Blair Mandiangu.

14:19.639 --> 14:23.399 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They've come from nowhere to be in
the mix at the end of this race.

14:23.399 --> 14:25.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So Fionn Maher is up there.
Mauric McSharry.

14:25.480 --> 14:28.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And then Mona McSharry gets up there
so the McSharrys have won.

14:28.840 --> 14:32.399 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But who will finish second? Who'll
finish third? Donncha is delighted.

14:32.399 --> 14:34.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
This is an amazing climax to the
race.

14:34.240 --> 14:35.559 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Gilmar Mandiangu trying to get up.

14:35.559 --> 14:38.799 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And Tom Hogan has come from behind to
get up to the top of the pontoon.

14:38.799 --> 14:41.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Where is Josh? Josh trying to get up
there as well.

14:41.480 --> 14:45.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But Nick Maher is up there.
Who's finished second?

14:45.159 --> 14:47.919 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
That's incredibly tight.
Impossible to decide.

14:47.919 --> 14:51.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
A split second between the Hogans and
the Mahers

14:51.759 --> 14:54.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and nobody knows what's going on.

14:54.000 --> 14:56.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: It was us, was it?

14:56.759 --> 15:01.799 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Well, we're gonna go to a replay to
decide this. How tight was this?

15:01.799 --> 15:03.480 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Look at Josh Hogan on the right.

15:03.480 --> 15:07.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Nick Maher being dragged up by Fionn.
Who's got to their feet first?

15:07.759 --> 15:11.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It's the Mahers!
Only just by a centimetre.

15:11.159 --> 15:14.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
That's an incredible finish.
The Mahers are second.

15:14.240 --> 15:18.399 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The Hogans are third and the
Mandiangus fourth. Wow!

15:21.559 --> 15:24.080 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I'm so glad that just by an absolute
hair we got through.

15:24.080 --> 15:28.600 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We had to be second after that
because I gave it everything I had.

15:28.600 --> 15:31.919 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DAVY: It was very tight in the end.
There was nothing in it.

15:31.919 --> 15:35.200 line:83% position:50% size:80%
It was right there and thereabouts.

15:35.200 --> 15:38.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: So the McSharrys are in
first place on four points.

15:38.639 --> 15:41.080 line:83% position:50% size:80%
In second is the Mahers with three.

15:41.080 --> 15:45.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Two for the Hogans and
one for the Mandiangus.

15:46.559 --> 15:51.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: I told the Mandiangus to
hold their heads up high.

15:51.639 --> 15:56.720 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They did well there and they've
nothing to be upset about.

15:56.799 --> 16:02.799 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Not the way you wanted to start.
Disappointed that we didn't win it,

16:02.799 --> 16:07.399 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
or come top three.
Last is never the option. But...

16:08.799 --> 16:12.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You're really disappointed, lads!
But you're not out yet.

16:12.960 --> 16:16.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We still have another event to go.
We do have another event to go.

16:16.200 --> 16:19.399 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
It's a gutting feeling, especially
when you're coming through and
you're first,

16:19.399 --> 16:20.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and then the bog just slows you
down.

16:20.840 --> 16:25.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The bog was a killer.
Aw, it was like glue, literally.

16:25.559 --> 16:27.399 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Today is all about survival for the
Mandiangus

16:27.399 --> 16:29.240 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and we're just getting started.

16:29.240 --> 16:32.799 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It's gonna be a long day for them
and they need to keep that energy

16:32.799 --> 16:36.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and get the smiles back on their
faces.

16:37.279 --> 16:40.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But it's smiles all round for the
McSharrys.

16:40.960 --> 16:44.919 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I'm proud of myself and my sister
that we came first there.

16:44.919 --> 16:48.320 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
I was the only female in the race,
which was kind of daunting at the
start line,

16:48.320 --> 16:53.759 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
but I was really happy with how we
managed to come first, which was
nice.

16:53.759 --> 16:55.600 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Yeah, the McSharrys have
done a great job,

16:55.600 --> 16:57.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but we don't want to be in the
Eliminator.

16:57.440 --> 17:00.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
A big time trial is coming up.
Let's get a result.

17:00.600 --> 17:04.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Come on, guys, quick.
Mona, swim it!

17:04.279 --> 17:06.599 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: Hey, lift her up!

17:06.599 --> 17:08.799 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DAVY: Two more and you're there,
Dena.

17:08.799 --> 17:12.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
No, you have to get her!
Tom! TOM!

17:17.720 --> 17:19.720 line:83% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: Welcome back.

17:19.720 --> 17:23.599 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
After a nail-biting first event,
the McSharrys are in pole position,

17:23.599 --> 17:27.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and it was a photo-finish,
where the Mahers came out second.

17:27.480 --> 17:29.279 line:83% position:50% size:80%
The Hogans are in third

17:29.279 --> 17:32.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and the Mandiangus are trailing
behind in fourth.

17:33.359 --> 17:36.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Tonight's second event is
Devil's Creek,

17:36.119 --> 17:39.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
a time trial which tests balance,
upper body strength, stamina

17:39.920 --> 17:43.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and the ability to wade through that
murky swamp,

17:43.000 --> 17:47.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
as our families compete to finish the
course in the quickest time.

17:47.079 --> 17:50.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
COMMENTATOR: The next event is
a time trial.

17:50.759 --> 17:54.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It begins with a test of balance as
they make their way across the beams.

17:54.759 --> 17:59.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Then, pushing them right to the edge,
the bars over the swamp.

17:59.759 --> 18:03.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
If they drop into the water three
times, they can move on.

18:03.440 --> 18:05.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Next it's a cargo net climb.

18:05.759 --> 18:08.720 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And, if that isn't enough,
the swamp awaits.

18:08.720 --> 18:14.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The families have to wade through
100 metres of swampy murky mud,

18:14.480 --> 18:19.720 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
collect a log and sprint with it to
the finish line to stop the clock.

18:21.079 --> 18:24.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: First up to take on
Devil's Creek,

18:24.759 --> 18:26.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
it's Donncha's McSharrys.

18:26.759 --> 18:29.880 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Okay, guys, here we go.
This is us in the time trial.

18:29.880 --> 18:32.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Let's just chat through it for a bit
of order.

18:32.079 --> 18:34.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So obviously, start at the back wall
here.

18:34.920 --> 18:39.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I want you to be as cool as cats on
the balance beams. Nice and steady.

18:39.279 --> 18:42.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
What I want like mad monkeys when it
comes to here.

18:42.440 --> 18:44.839 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Just, honestly, rip the bars off!

18:44.839 --> 18:47.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Then we're into...I'm not even gonna
call it the bog.

18:47.400 --> 18:48.720 line:83% position:50% size:80%
I'm gonna call it the swim.

18:48.720 --> 18:51.160 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Let's use our advantage and let's
swim that, yeah?

18:51.160 --> 18:54.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Then when we get out onto the log,
it's only 30kgs.

18:54.599 --> 18:57.720 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The biggest problem there is if you
haven't worked together.

18:57.720 --> 19:01.279 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
But that's where the fastest are
slowest, if you know what I'm
saying. Yeah.

19:01.279 --> 19:06.079 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
So let's get it done here now. Let's
finish it off, get you on the road
to Sligo.

19:11.000 --> 19:11.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
COMMENTATOR: First to take on
Devil's Creek,

19:11.240 --> 19:13.559 line:83% position:50% size:80%
it's Donncha's McSharrys from Sligo.

19:16.799 --> 19:21.880 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Mona, Aidan, Viola and Mauric.
REF: 3,2,1... (Hooter sounds)

19:21.880 --> 19:25.519 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
And off they go against the clock.
They will set the time to beat.

19:25.519 --> 19:28.359 line:77% position:50% size:80%
The balance beams are first.

19:29.359 --> 19:31.680 line:77% position:50% size:80%
That's Aidan out in front.

19:31.680 --> 19:35.880 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
If they hit the water, they've got to
go back to the start.

19:35.880 --> 19:41.400 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
But Mauric McSharry has made that
look easy. Up to the bars.

19:42.079 --> 19:44.079 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Again, they're over water.

19:44.079 --> 19:47.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
If you go into the water, you've got
to go back to the start.

19:47.200 --> 19:49.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But the McSharrys tearing through
this.

19:49.599 --> 19:52.119 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Mauric is over to the platform first.

19:52.119 --> 19:55.359 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Viola and Mona will join him shortly.

19:57.279 --> 19:59.279 line:83% position:50% size:80%
And that's Mona across.

20:01.880 --> 20:07.359 align:start line:77% position:50% size:80%
And joined by her mum Viola.
And just a minute gone.

20:07.359 --> 20:11.799 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Aidan McSharry climbing down and
Mauric just jumping down.

20:11.799 --> 20:15.359 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
This is a very good start.
Aidan in first place.

20:15.359 --> 20:18.599 line:70% position:50% size:80%
And here he goes into the swamp.

20:18.599 --> 20:21.279 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Donncha's advice was to try and swim
across it.

20:21.279 --> 20:24.759 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
That should work for a while.
Let's see.

20:24.759 --> 20:28.279 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Viola McSharry follows her daughter
Mona in.

20:28.279 --> 20:33.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And if anybody can swim across this,
it's got to be Mona McSharry.

20:33.079 --> 20:37.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And there goes Mauric across the top
of the bog.

20:37.440 --> 20:40.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
This is an impressive performance by
the McSharrys.

20:40.559 --> 20:44.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Use your hands, Mona.
Just pull yourself along.

20:44.039 --> 20:47.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Conditions under that water become
much trickier

20:48.720 --> 20:52.880 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and they slow down a little,
but that's okay.

20:52.880 --> 20:56.799 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
They're not slow in terms of the
time. Just over two minutes gone.

20:56.799 --> 21:00.039 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
Mauric McSharry first out of the
swamp.

21:03.799 --> 21:05.400 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
Mona now walking through it.
Swimming doesn't work any more.

21:05.400 --> 21:07.680 line:70% position:50% size:80%
Come on, quick! Mona, swim it!

21:07.680 --> 21:12.599 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
And Mona being urged to swim it
again. So is Viola.

21:12.599 --> 21:19.519 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And Mona making sure that Viola gets
out of the water and the swamp okay.

21:19.519 --> 21:24.799 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
So they have powered through
Devil's Creek up to this point.

21:24.799 --> 21:29.440 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
Just over three minutes gone.
They're gonna put down a fast time.

21:29.440 --> 21:31.240 line:70% position:50% size:80%
They've got to sprint to the finish

21:31.240 --> 21:34.440 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
as Viola is helped out by her husband
Aidan.

21:34.440 --> 21:37.200 line:70% position:50% size:80%
They've got to pick up this log

21:37.200 --> 21:39.559 line:70% position:50% size:80%
and off they go to the finish line.

21:39.559 --> 21:43.720 align:start line:77% position:50% size:80%
The McSharrys from Sligo,
the finish line in sight.

21:43.720 --> 21:45.880 line:83% position:50% size:80%
It's a very quick time.

21:45.880 --> 21:49.039 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Will the rest be able to match three
minutes and 22 seconds?

21:49.039 --> 21:51.400 line:83% position:50% size:80%
We will find out.

21:55.960 --> 21:57.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
That was really good.
It was a nice fast sprint.

21:57.559 --> 22:01.880 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I think we've done enough. I hope we
don't have to go into an Eliminator.

22:01.880 --> 22:05.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Guys, fantastic. I don't think you
could have given that much more.

22:05.279 --> 22:09.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
There was no errors, no mistakes,
which is a big thing on this course.

22:09.440 --> 22:11.599 line:83% position:50% size:80%
One mistake could really cost you.

22:11.599 --> 22:13.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: Donncha looks like one very
happy coach.

22:13.559 --> 22:16.519 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So you are obviously delighted with
that performance. Yeah.

22:16.519 --> 22:17.839 line:83% position:50% size:80%
They did a really good job.

22:17.839 --> 22:20.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I think they were error-free,
which is the biggest thing.

22:20.559 --> 22:23.640 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Look, if another family goes out and
beats that, fair play to them.

22:23.640 --> 22:26.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But I think we really gave it our
all there.

22:26.480 --> 22:29.519 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But I love the way they're nearly
down about it!

22:29.519 --> 22:33.680 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Yeah, why is Donncha so happy and you
guys are a bit subdued?

22:33.680 --> 22:36.240 line:83% position:50% size:80%
We could have went faster maybe.

22:36.240 --> 22:38.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
No, I think we did the best we
could, honestly.

22:38.079 --> 22:40.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It's just tough because we don't
know what everyone else is going.

22:40.559 --> 22:44.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It's not a race where you can see if
you've won yet.

22:44.079 --> 22:46.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You're racing against yourself, which
is sometimes the toughest race to do.

22:46.920 --> 22:50.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Yeah, exactly. You might not give it
that bit...

22:50.119 --> 22:52.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But I think we did,
we gave it all we could have.

22:52.400 --> 22:56.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I think you should go with how happy
your coach is. Enjoy the moment.

22:56.400 --> 22:59.640 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Good luck, guys.
Yeah, well done, guys.

23:03.279 --> 23:03.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
who will be doing everything they can
to come out on top.

23:03.960 --> 23:06.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
who will be doing everything they can
to come out on top.

23:06.599 --> 23:09.720 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: Okay, guys, how are you
feeling? Yeah, good.

23:09.720 --> 23:12.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Okay, time trials. There's no
hanging around here.

23:12.119 --> 23:16.200 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
It's got to be quick because we've
no idea how quick or how slow the
other families are.

23:16.200 --> 23:18.880 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The toughest part I think is just
this but the rest we'll fly through.

23:18.880 --> 23:21.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You work best as a team of four.
That's what happened the last day.

23:21.440 --> 23:23.720 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Keep talking to each other.
I'm gonna be there.

23:23.720 --> 23:27.880 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
If I see anything, if I need to make
any changes, any quick decisions,
I'll tell you.

23:27.880 --> 23:31.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And just there, before you get on
the beam,

23:31.000 --> 23:34.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
if my mam can't reach, can they pull
her up to help her hold onto that?

23:34.759 --> 23:38.160 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Or does she...? No, if she can't
reach, you can help her.

23:38.160 --> 23:40.279 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Okay, let's go.

23:48.000 --> 23:49.160 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
COMMENTATOR: On the start line,
Gilmar, Blair, Nathalie, Lariche.

23:49.160 --> 23:51.079 line:83% position:50% size:80%
The Mandiangus from Dublin are ready.

23:51.079 --> 23:54.640 line:83% position:50% size:80%
REF: 3,2,1... (Hooter sounds)

23:54.920 --> 23:58.160 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
And their Devil's Creek time trial
begins.

24:01.920 --> 24:03.079 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
So Lariche closest to us on the
balance beams.

24:03.079 --> 24:05.960 line:83% position:50% size:80%
And Blair beside her.

24:05.960 --> 24:10.000 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
And Nathalie at the back taking her
time. So is Gilmar.

24:10.000 --> 24:12.319 align:start line:77% position:50% size:80%
Don't over-think it.
Keep going.

24:12.319 --> 24:14.559 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
And Derval's advice here will be
important.

24:14.559 --> 24:18.359 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Lariche is first up to those bars
over the water.

24:18.359 --> 24:20.359 line:83% position:50% size:80%
This is really tough.

24:20.359 --> 24:24.160 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
If a competitor goes into the water
three times,

24:24.160 --> 24:30.359 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
they're allowed to move past and move
on this particular part of the
challenge.

24:30.359 --> 24:33.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So that was Blair helping Lariche
across.

24:33.599 --> 24:35.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They're staying together at the
minute.

24:35.759 --> 24:37.960 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Gilmar is third on there

24:37.960 --> 24:41.079 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
but they're a little concerned about
their mum Nathalie,

24:41.079 --> 24:43.119 line:70% position:50% size:80%
who's still on the balance beams.

24:43.119 --> 24:45.119 line:83% position:50% size:80%
She will get there.

24:45.400 --> 24:47.400 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Just through a minute.

24:47.400 --> 24:49.880 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Can they go back that way through
the water?

24:49.880 --> 24:50.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
And they're losing time

24:50.759 --> 24:55.359 align:start line:63% position:50% size:80%
and they've decided Gilmar should
head back down the course and help
his mum out.

24:55.359 --> 24:56.839 line:70% position:50% size:80%
He's flying back across those bars.

24:56.839 --> 25:00.480 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
One foot in front of the other
rather than step side-by-side.

25:00.480 --> 25:01.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Take your time. It's okay.

25:01.759 --> 25:07.160 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And there is Gilmar with his mum,
helping her every step of the way.

25:07.160 --> 25:09.160 line:83% position:50% size:80%
That's brilliant.

25:09.920 --> 25:11.920 line:83% position:50% size:80%
She's nearly there.

25:11.920 --> 25:15.160 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Well done, Nathalie,
and well done, Gilmar.

25:15.160 --> 25:19.759 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So Blair and Lariche want a big
effort from now.

25:20.119 --> 25:23.799 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So Nathalie being helped up onto
those bars.

25:27.799 --> 25:30.319 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Oh, and she's gone into the water the
first time, Nathalie Mandiangu.

25:30.319 --> 25:33.880 align:start line:63% position:50% size:80%
Two more attempts at it. If they're
unsuccessful, they're allowed to move
on.

25:33.880 --> 25:40.359 align:start line:63% position:50% size:80%
But the time is slow and they're not
going to beat the McSharrys' target.

25:40.519 --> 25:44.200 align:start line:77% position:50% size:80%
Nathalie has another go.
Can she hang on?

25:44.200 --> 25:47.680 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
That was so tough to do,
and she's gone in a second time.

25:47.680 --> 25:49.240 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Come on, Ma!

25:49.240 --> 25:51.920 line:70% position:50% size:80%
So one more and they can move on.

25:51.920 --> 25:56.119 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
The time isn't going to be quick,
and Nathalie has fallen in again.

25:56.119 --> 26:01.440 align:start line:63% position:50% size:80%
Oh dear, oh dear! This is going wrong
for the Mandiangus on this really
tough challenge.

26:01.440 --> 26:03.400 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
But they're allowed to move on from
here.

26:03.400 --> 26:07.200 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
The time will not be near the
McSharrys' target

26:07.200 --> 26:08.079 line:83% position:50% size:80%
but they won't know that.

26:08.079 --> 26:11.440 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
And now, really, for the Mandiangus
it's about just battling on.

26:11.440 --> 26:14.200 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
Has Nathalie been hurt?
I think she's okay to continue.

26:14.200 --> 26:18.799 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Gilmar did his family proud by
helping Nathalie across.

26:18.799 --> 26:21.640 line:83% position:50% size:80%
So they're up to the cargo net climb.

26:21.640 --> 26:26.000 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
They want to try get as many points
as they can from this Devil's Creek
challenge.

26:26.000 --> 26:29.680 line:83% position:50% size:80%
It's not going to be a quick time.

26:34.880 --> 26:35.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And they're taking great care with
Nathalie

26:35.119 --> 26:37.279 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
to try and get her through this
challenge.

26:37.279 --> 26:42.920 align:start line:63% position:50% size:80%
Her confidence would have taken
a battering after the balance beams
and then the bars.

26:42.920 --> 26:48.400 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
So Blair, Gilmar and Lariche will
help her through this.

26:53.319 --> 26:57.000 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
So into the water goes Gilmar and
Lariche

26:57.000 --> 26:58.799 line:70% position:50% size:80%
and then Nathalie being helped in.

26:58.799 --> 27:02.039 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
And they're gonna stay together with
Nathalie.

27:03.359 --> 27:05.359 line:83% position:50% size:80%
They're brilliant shots.

27:05.359 --> 27:08.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The Mandiangu family from Dublin all
together

27:08.599 --> 27:13.319 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
and it's just about getting it done
and going around as quickly as they
possibly can.

27:13.319 --> 27:16.440 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Derval will help them through.

27:16.519 --> 27:20.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The terrain underneath that water is
very sticky.

27:20.359 --> 27:23.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
And Nathalie being helped by Blair.

27:25.599 --> 27:28.359 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Get them out, get them out!

27:28.359 --> 27:30.680 line:83% position:50% size:80%
So they're very nearly out.

27:30.680 --> 27:34.440 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
And Gilmar has been the anchorman for
the Mandiangu family,

27:34.440 --> 27:39.200 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
helping the other three members of
his team out of the water.

27:39.200 --> 27:43.799 align:start line:77% position:50% size:80%
Over nine minutes gone,
but they have battled away.

27:43.799 --> 27:47.400 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
They've fought their way through this
Devil's Creek course.

27:47.400 --> 27:51.920 align:start line:63% position:50% size:80%
They helped Nathalie through a bad
time on those balance beams and the
bars,

27:51.920 --> 27:55.480 align:start line:77% position:50% size:80%
and she has battled away.
They will not give up.

27:55.480 --> 28:00.559 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
And the Mandiangus from Dublin cross
the line in 9:21.

28:02.599 --> 28:04.599 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Are you alright?

28:06.079 --> 28:09.319 line:83% position:50% size:80%
My mam, she just did her best.

28:11.119 --> 28:14.799 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I'm ecstatic with how far my mother
went.

28:14.799 --> 28:16.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I didn't think she had the strength
in her.

28:16.920 --> 28:20.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You're alright? They got you
through? Are you okay?

28:20.039 --> 28:21.599 line:83% position:50% size:80%
She needs some water.

28:21.599 --> 28:23.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Can I have a bottle of water,
please?

28:23.559 --> 28:26.319 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We always knew with Nathalie,
she was going to find this tough.

28:26.319 --> 28:29.359 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But the easiest thing in the world
for her to do would have been stop,

28:29.359 --> 28:31.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and she didn't stop,
she completed it.

28:31.279 --> 28:34.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I think there's a lot to be said for
that.

28:35.240 --> 28:37.240 line:83% position:50% size:80%
It's okay now.

28:37.240 --> 28:39.240 line:83% position:50% size:80%
She did it.

28:39.279 --> 28:41.599 line:83% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: Okay, guys, well done.

28:41.599 --> 28:44.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I know you're absolutely exhausted,
as all of you are.

28:44.559 --> 28:47.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But how proud of your mum are you?
Super-proud of her.

28:47.200 --> 28:49.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
She was giving up there,
and then she seen us

28:49.200 --> 28:51.799 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and she just continued on.

28:51.799 --> 28:53.960 line:83% position:50% size:80%
The bars are incredibly difficult.

28:53.960 --> 28:57.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You need so much upper body strength
for those, don't you? 100 percent.

28:57.279 --> 28:58.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
I didn't even think I could do that.

28:58.759 --> 29:00.559 line:83% position:50% size:80%
But I'm always looking at my nails,

29:00.559 --> 29:02.880 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and I didn't lose any!
Look at these!

29:02.880 --> 29:05.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Let me see those nails.
That is incredible.

29:05.480 --> 29:08.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You completed the race and not
a break, wow!

29:08.240 --> 29:11.680 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
How do you think they went, Derval?
I knew that was gonna be tough.

29:11.680 --> 29:15.039 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
I knew you were worried about the
beam at the start, and the monkey
bars.

29:15.039 --> 29:18.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But they had to complete it, and
that was not easy for Nathalie.

29:18.599 --> 29:20.400 line:83% position:50% size:80%
I know it wasn't easy.

29:20.400 --> 29:23.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Very proud of her for completing it.
She did it for the kids.

29:23.039 --> 29:28.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Okay, guys, well done.
Talk to you later. Thanks a million.

29:30.519 --> 29:34.680 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Davy's Hogans are third up to face
the swamp.

29:34.680 --> 29:37.240 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DAVY: It's like your lives depend on
this. You've got to go at it, right?

29:37.240 --> 29:41.160 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
The one thing about this, on the
balance beams just get your first
and second step.

29:41.160 --> 29:42.240 line:83% position:50% size:80%
After that, off you go.

29:42.240 --> 29:45.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Get a pace you're comfortable with
because, listen, three seconds,

29:45.119 --> 29:46.880 line:83% position:50% size:80%
just by taking your time, fine.

29:46.880 --> 29:50.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Once you get to here,
it's everything all out.

29:50.400 --> 29:52.880 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So we get over that.
You've no problem going over that.

29:52.880 --> 29:54.640 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
That's not going to be a bother for
any of you, right?3

29:54.640 --> 29:57.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Then we hit the bog.
What's the plan in the bog?

29:57.920 --> 29:59.799 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Stay together.

29:59.799 --> 30:02.799 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Okay, listen.
We need to grind this out. Yeah.

30:02.799 --> 30:04.839 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Josh, are we good? Yeah.

30:04.839 --> 30:06.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
100 percent I believe in you.

30:06.759 --> 30:08.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Little man, there's no fear in you.

30:08.519 --> 30:09.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You're looking forward to the
challenge. Yeah.

30:09.960 --> 30:12.640 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
He loves this. I can tell by the
smile on him!

30:12.640 --> 30:15.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Okay, it's up to you two. I've no
problem with them two, alright?

30:15.400 --> 30:19.160 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Are we up for the challenge? Yeah.
Okay, let's go.

30:23.400 --> 30:27.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
COMMENTATOR: The Hogans from Wexford
are Davy's last team.

30:27.559 --> 30:30.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
In Davy's eyes, they didn't go well
in the first race.

30:30.920 --> 30:34.599 align:start line:77% position:50% size:80%
He wants max effort here on
Devil's Creek.

30:35.519 --> 30:42.000 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
The Hogans have a point to prove to
themselves and also to their coach.

30:42.000 --> 30:44.119 align:start line:77% position:50% size:80%
Well done. Nearly there.
Good stuff.

30:44.119 --> 30:46.880 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Just keep walking, one ahead of each
other. Nearly there.

30:46.880 --> 30:50.119 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Dena taking her time on the balance
beams,

30:50.119 --> 30:54.039 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
and they've flown across them and
20 seconds on the clock.

30:54.039 --> 30:57.480 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
14-year-old Jay being helped up onto
those bars by his dad Tom.

30:57.480 --> 30:59.799 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Josh has arrived as well.

30:59.799 --> 31:01.799 line:70% position:50% size:80%
They are making that look easy.

31:01.799 --> 31:05.640 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Dena across the balance beams,
and Tom there to help her.

31:05.640 --> 31:09.200 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Let's go, Dena. That's it, girl!
Come on, keep going.

31:09.200 --> 31:10.759 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Dena, that's it, girl, keep going!

31:10.759 --> 31:14.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Davy will drive them all the way
through.

31:14.599 --> 31:17.359 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Dena and Tom very nearly across.

31:17.599 --> 31:21.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Tom, let's get there.
Let's get there, Tom.

31:21.279 --> 31:22.279 line:83% position:50% size:80%
You have to get her! TOM! TOM!

31:22.279 --> 31:23.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Tom lost his balance.

31:23.519 --> 31:25.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Come on, let's go!

31:25.640 --> 31:31.640 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Dena is over too, so the cargo net
climb. A really quick time.

31:32.400 --> 31:34.400 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Get through that water!

31:34.400 --> 31:39.000 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Jay throws himself into the water,
and Josh is there with him.

31:39.000 --> 31:41.200 line:83% position:50% size:80%
You can make it through, come on!

31:41.200 --> 31:42.680 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
And Davy getting more and more
animated.

31:42.680 --> 31:44.839 line:70% position:50% size:80%
He knows this is a quick time.

31:44.839 --> 31:49.359 align:start line:63% position:50% size:80%
So here's Tom Hogan. He just had a
glance over his shoulder to see where
his wife Dena is.

31:49.359 --> 31:51.920 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
And there she is.
She's in the water as well.

31:51.920 --> 31:54.240 line:70% position:50% size:80%
A minute-and-a-half on the clock.

31:55.680 --> 31:59.839 line:70% position:50% size:80%
3:22 is the time they have to beat.

31:59.839 --> 32:01.319 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Jay and Josh working together.

32:01.319 --> 32:03.839 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Tom and Dena doing likewise just
behind them.

32:03.839 --> 32:06.200 line:83% position:50% size:80%
But they're all close together now.

32:06.200 --> 32:08.960 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Josh pulling Jay through the water

32:09.240 --> 32:12.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and Tom is swimming through it.

32:12.000 --> 32:14.279 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
This is very impressive from the
Hogans.

32:14.279 --> 32:16.839 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They were disappointed after their
first race today.

32:16.839 --> 32:19.599 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Get the log, get the log!

32:19.599 --> 32:22.679 line:83% position:50% size:80%
And they're all out of the water.

32:22.679 --> 32:24.800 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
So now it's about the dash to the
finish.

32:24.800 --> 32:26.480 line:70% position:50% size:80%
Just over three minutes on the clock.

32:26.480 --> 32:30.239 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
This is gonna be very tight for the
Hogans from Wexford.

32:30.239 --> 32:33.480 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Davy driving them on to the finish.
Are they gonna do it?

32:33.480 --> 32:35.920 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
Will they be inside 3:22?
Yes, they are!

32:35.920 --> 32:39.599 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
3:18, they're the quickest.
What a performance!

32:41.079 --> 32:44.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
That was good, yeah.
Great fun, actually.

32:44.320 --> 32:45.840 line:83% position:50% size:80%
I love it!

32:45.840 --> 32:46.760 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Good job, well done!

32:46.760 --> 32:50.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I'm extremely proud of what they did
there. They gave me 110 percent.

32:50.079 --> 32:52.360 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
That's more like it.
That's what we're about.

32:52.360 --> 32:55.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
I need Davy in my everyday mum life!

32:55.519 --> 32:57.840 line:83% position:50% size:80%
That's it, Dena! Oh no!

32:58.000 --> 33:00.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Fair proud of that!

33:00.000 --> 33:03.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: Davy, you nearly ran that
entire race with them.

33:03.000 --> 33:04.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I connect with this family unreal.
I know I do.

33:04.920 --> 33:08.880 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
You can see the way they ran that.
There wasn't another ounce left in
them. Or you.

33:08.880 --> 33:13.280 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
No, I'm good. I can go again,
there's no problem! I enjoyed that.

33:13.280 --> 33:15.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
If it's good enough, fine.
If it isn't, I don't know.

33:15.199 --> 33:16.320 line:83% position:50% size:80%
But it was a good time.

33:16.320 --> 33:19.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I'd be gutted if we've to go into
the Eliminator. I really would.

33:19.440 --> 33:22.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But if we have to go in there,
we go in there. You accept it.

33:24.679 --> 33:29.760 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So, currently the Hogans are in first
place with 3:18.

33:29.760 --> 33:33.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The McSharrys in second place with
3:22.

33:33.159 --> 33:37.760 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And the Mandinagus are in
third place with 9:21.

33:38.159 --> 33:42.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But there's one family left to race
and it's Anna's Mahers.

33:45.679 --> 33:48.920 line:83% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: Come on, guys, let's push it.

33:48.920 --> 33:51.239 line:83% position:50% size:80%
That's it, you have it.

33:51.519 --> 33:53.840 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Move, Mona! Get out of the way!

34:02.360 --> 34:04.360 line:83% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: Welcome back.

34:04.360 --> 34:07.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Three families have taken on
Devil's Creek.

34:07.159 --> 34:08.280 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Brilliant job, girls.

34:08.280 --> 34:09.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: That's it,
you're nearly there.

34:09.639 --> 34:11.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DAVY: Get there, get there!

34:11.000 --> 34:14.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And now it's the turn of Anna's
Mahers from Laois.

34:18.800 --> 34:21.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
With a time to beat of 3:18 to go
straight through,

34:21.320 --> 34:23.880 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Anna is leaving nothing to chance.

34:23.880 --> 34:25.280 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Every second counts in this.

34:25.280 --> 34:28.519 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
When you pick up that log, you're
not waiting to get to the log and
then you're down.

34:28.519 --> 34:31.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
When you see that log, you already
know exactly where,

34:31.159 --> 34:32.719 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and then you are going home.

34:32.719 --> 34:35.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You're runners.
This is what you do.

34:35.039 --> 34:39.000 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
I want you finishing 10 feet after
that line because you're not gonna
be able to stop.

34:39.000 --> 34:40.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Every second counts in this now,
okay?

34:40.840 --> 34:43.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
This is the decision.
Do you want to be in an Eliminator

34:43.599 --> 34:46.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
or do you want to go through to the
semi-finals? Semi-finals. Yeah.

34:46.320 --> 34:48.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Nice and relaxed for these parts

34:48.000 --> 34:51.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and then, from the swamp on,
you open it up.

34:55.800 --> 35:00.880 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
COMMENTATOR: So, Anna's Mahers from
Laois, Nick, Maebh, Cara and Fionn.

35:01.920 --> 35:04.679 line:83% position:50% size:80%
REF: 3,2,1... (Hooter sounds)

35:04.679 --> 35:07.639 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
And the time they have to try and
better is on the left of your screen,

35:07.639 --> 35:12.199 line:70% position:50% size:80%
three minutes and 18 seconds.

35:13.320 --> 35:18.400 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
The Mahers were second in our first
race of the day.

35:22.199 --> 35:28.679 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
And they are very nearly done with
the balance beams. Up to the bars.

35:28.679 --> 35:30.679 line:70% position:50% size:80%
Nick is there first.

35:32.960 --> 35:37.119 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
Nick has done that in a very
impressive style.

35:37.119 --> 35:41.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So Fionn helping Maebh and Cara at
the back. Off they go.

35:41.960 --> 35:45.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Super! You're nearly there.
Last one home.

35:46.159 --> 35:48.480 line:83% position:50% size:80%
That's it, Cara, you're there.

35:48.480 --> 35:51.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So Cara and Maebh are across.
Nick helping them out.

35:51.920 --> 35:53.559 line:83% position:50% size:80%
And Fionn bringing up the rear.

35:53.559 --> 35:55.880 line:70% position:50% size:80%
So, the cargo net climb.

35:56.719 --> 36:00.559 line:70% position:50% size:80%
And they've set a quick time.

36:02.679 --> 36:08.679 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
But will it be good enough? And can
they keep this momentum going?

36:08.679 --> 36:11.159 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Come on, come on, come on!

36:11.159 --> 36:14.159 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
So that's Cara looking a little edgy
coming down off the net.

36:14.159 --> 36:19.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And, once more, Fionn is there to
help her out if she needs it.

36:19.119 --> 36:22.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Nick is into the water,
into the swamp.

36:24.000 --> 36:26.760 line:83% position:50% size:80%
All four of them in now.

36:26.760 --> 36:29.599 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Let's go! Come on, move it, move it!

36:29.599 --> 36:32.599 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
The conditions underfoot really
difficult.

36:32.599 --> 36:38.639 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
Just over two minutes on the clock.
This is gonna be tight.

36:38.639 --> 36:42.719 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
And you can see from the expression
on Nick's face that this is tough
going,

36:42.719 --> 36:46.880 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
and these are the moments when this
race really takes its toll.

36:46.880 --> 36:50.519 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Come on, Nick, well done.
Let's go! Push it!

36:50.519 --> 36:53.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Cara and Maebh swimming through the
water.

36:53.199 --> 36:57.360 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Fionn and Nick walking through it,
wading through it.

36:57.480 --> 36:59.480 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Let's go, come on!

36:59.480 --> 37:01.039 line:70% position:50% size:80%
There's more in you.

37:01.039 --> 37:04.280 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
Anna wants more.
Just over three minutes.

37:04.440 --> 37:07.679 line:70% position:50% size:80%
This is gonna be tight as well.

37:07.679 --> 37:10.119 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
Do you want to be in an Eliminator?
Slow, slow.

37:10.119 --> 37:12.920 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
They want to avoid the Eliminator,
of course they do,

37:12.920 --> 37:14.800 line:70% position:50% size:80%
but they're not gonna beat the time.

37:14.800 --> 37:19.880 align:middle line:63% position:50% size:80%
The Mahers from Laois found it tough
going in that swamp.

37:23.400 --> 37:23.639 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
but how fast can they do this
challenge in?

37:23.639 --> 37:26.159 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
but how fast can they do this
challenge in?

37:26.159 --> 37:28.159 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Let's go!

37:28.320 --> 37:30.639 line:83% position:50% size:80%
There is the finish line.

37:30.639 --> 37:34.360 align:start line:70% position:50% size:80%
And they get through the finish line
in 3:39.

37:34.360 --> 37:37.800 align:start line:77% position:50% size:80%
On another day, that
would be really good.

37:37.800 --> 37:42.480 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
It was really tough but I'm proud of
me and my family for getting through
it.

37:42.480 --> 37:45.199 line:83% position:50% size:80%
I'm so proud of you.

37:45.199 --> 37:47.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I feel better after this one than
I did after the last one.

37:47.480 --> 37:49.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
There's no injuries.
You ran a really strong race.

37:49.559 --> 37:52.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So, regardless of what happens,
we deal with it then.

37:52.400 --> 37:54.400 line:83% position:50% size:80%
The swamp was cruel.

37:54.400 --> 37:59.760 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Only Fionn was pulling me there, I
was finding it hard to get momentum.

37:59.760 --> 38:01.159 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Tougher than I thought, yeah.

38:01.159 --> 38:03.480 line:83% position:50% size:80%
I died a death sort of on the bog

38:03.480 --> 38:05.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and I was trying to pull the other
man through as well.

38:05.400 --> 38:09.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So the legs were just completely
gone.

38:15.239 --> 38:18.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: With all the results in,

38:18.000 --> 38:22.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
it's time for me to give our families
the good and the bad news.

38:22.920 --> 38:25.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Well done on completing the two
courses earlier.

38:25.239 --> 38:29.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They were not easy at all but you all
completed them.

38:36.320 --> 38:40.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The first family with a place in the
semi-final is...

38:41.559 --> 38:45.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
the McSharry's. Well done, guys.
Well done, Donncha.

38:48.000 --> 38:50.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Well done, guys.

38:50.280 --> 38:54.880 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The second family going straight
through to the semi-final is...

38:57.760 --> 38:59.760 line:83% position:50% size:80%
the Hogans.

38:59.760 --> 39:01.719 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DAVY: Well done.

39:01.719 --> 39:03.719 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Well done, Davy.

39:03.920 --> 39:09.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So that means the Mandiangus and
Derval, and the Mahers and Anna

39:09.440 --> 39:13.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
face the Eliminator.
Best of luck, guys. Thanks.

39:16.719 --> 39:18.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
This is absolutely tough and I'm
disappointed that they're here,

39:18.320 --> 39:19.760 line:83% position:50% size:80%
but now we have to drive on.

39:19.760 --> 39:22.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And the way I see it is, if we're
gonna win Ireland's Fittest Family,

39:22.000 --> 39:26.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
you have to beat every team in here,
so that starts now.

39:26.039 --> 39:28.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: The Mandiangus need to
concentrate on their own race.

39:28.079 --> 39:29.719 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They can't affect what anybody else
is doing.

39:29.719 --> 39:32.599 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
They're smart, they think things
through, and that's gonna be the key
for them.

39:32.599 --> 39:35.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So, not getting distracted,
just thinking about themselves

39:35.400 --> 39:37.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and let me worry about the rest of
it.

39:37.639 --> 39:41.840 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
I'm a little disappointed to be at
the Eliminator but we've been here
before.

39:41.840 --> 39:45.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We have a couple of tricks up our
sleeves so hopefully it works out.

39:45.239 --> 39:47.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
I think it's gonna be exciting.

39:47.000 --> 39:51.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
In my mind, we're not going anywhere
unless it's to the semi-finals.

39:51.039 --> 39:52.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We're not even thinking about going
home today.

39:52.840 --> 39:54.679 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It's not even in our head space at
the minute.

39:54.679 --> 39:58.760 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So we're just taking this Eliminator
and we're gonna give it socks.

39:59.440 --> 40:03.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
COMMENTATOR: The Eliminator is more
difficult than ever before.

40:03.599 --> 40:09.760 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The race begins with a climb down the
hay bales and a 360 metre run.

40:09.760 --> 40:13.679 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Then they jump straight into the
freezing cold ice baths.

40:13.679 --> 40:18.280 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
After that, they face the first wall.
It's 3.5 metres high.

40:18.280 --> 40:22.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Then they continue up the hill,
where they'll face various obstacles,

40:22.039 --> 40:25.360 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
including a pyramid climb and
a cargo net crawl.

40:25.360 --> 40:31.039 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
After another wall, the winners will
be the first family standing on top
of the hay bales.

40:33.239 --> 40:38.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
This is gonna be very tough,
the Hell And Back Eliminator

40:38.320 --> 40:41.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
between the Mahers and the
Mandiangus.

40:41.079 --> 40:47.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
For one family this evening...

40:47.000 --> 40:48.480 line:83% position:50% size:80%
REF: 3,2,1... (Hooter sounds)

40:48.480 --> 40:56.679 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
...it will be elimination from
Ireland's Fittest Family 2019.

40:56.679 --> 40:58.039 line:83% position:50% size:80%
The Mahers away from the hay bales.

40:58.039 --> 41:02.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Lariche Mandiangu has gone out in
front for her family.

41:02.800 --> 41:05.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And the two families have to run
360 metres.

41:05.400 --> 41:08.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They've to get down to the bottom of
the course to come back up.

41:08.800 --> 41:13.239 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: That's it, Lariche.

41:13.239 --> 41:17.679 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So the early shadow-boxing between
these two families.

41:17.679 --> 41:20.440 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Gilmar is with Nathalie Mandiangu.

41:20.440 --> 41:22.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: A load of ice has just gone
in there. It's cold.

41:22.119 --> 41:24.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Gilmar is from an athletics
background

41:24.440 --> 41:26.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
so this will be fairly
straightforward.

41:26.199 --> 41:31.679 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But Lariche Mandiangu is first up to
the ice baths.

41:31.679 --> 41:34.199 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Joined by Blair.

41:34.199 --> 41:36.800 line:83% position:50% size:80%
That is a shock for sure.

41:36.800 --> 41:40.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Fionn and Maebh Maher are through
there

41:40.239 --> 41:43.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and Blair Mandiangu is going to help
his sister Lariche.

41:43.039 --> 41:45.679 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
She didn't fancy going underneath the
water

41:45.679 --> 41:47.280 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and neither does Nick Maher.

41:47.280 --> 41:51.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Well, you get a perfect indication of
just how difficult this is

41:51.800 --> 41:55.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and Fionn is dragging his dad out
from under the water. Well done.

41:55.159 --> 41:58.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
That is not easy at all.

41:58.000 --> 42:02.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Nick back to his feet and they're up
to the first of these walls.

42:02.239 --> 42:07.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So this is all about teamwork,
coolness and calmness under pressure.

42:07.320 --> 42:11.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They are the biggest walls we've had
on Fittest Family this year,

42:11.079 --> 42:12.199 line:83% position:50% size:80%
3.5 metres high.

42:12.199 --> 42:14.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Blair and Lariche working well
together.

42:15.719 --> 42:21.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And Lariche is up at the top of the
wall. Number one.

42:21.239 --> 42:23.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And the rest of her family there with
her.

42:23.199 --> 42:25.880 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So the Mandiangus all together
at the moment.

42:25.880 --> 42:27.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
And the Mahers too.

42:27.519 --> 42:29.599 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: Stand on his shoulder!

42:29.599 --> 42:32.119 line:83% position:50% size:80%
So, Nick up at the top of the wall.

42:32.119 --> 42:35.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And Lariche first for her family away
from the wall.

42:35.000 --> 42:36.440 line:83% position:50% size:80%
So they've each got one over.

42:36.440 --> 42:38.719 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Fionn Maher has a fail in front of
the wall.

42:38.719 --> 42:42.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And Nathalie Mandiangu being helped
up to the top of it.

42:42.079 --> 42:43.320 line:83% position:50% size:80%
There is nothing between them.

42:43.320 --> 42:45.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It couldn't be tighter in this
Eliminator.

42:45.960 --> 42:50.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
One family will progress,
the oher will go home.

42:50.519 --> 42:55.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So, Nathalie is up on the top of that
wall.

42:55.119 --> 42:57.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Blair and Gilmar helping her through
it.

42:57.440 --> 43:02.000 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
And all four members of the Maher
family have got away from wall number
one.

43:02.000 --> 43:04.760 line:83% position:50% size:80%
The Mandiangus getting stuck at this.

43:04.760 --> 43:10.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
This is so difficult, and Nathalie is
very nearly over the top of it.

43:10.039 --> 43:12.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
More obstacles for the Maher family
to deal with.

43:12.320 --> 43:15.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Lariche is doing this on her own for
the Mandiangus.

43:15.320 --> 43:17.880 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Nathalie is across the first wall.

43:17.880 --> 43:21.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
She seemed to fall awkwardly but
I think she's okay.

43:21.159 --> 43:24.280 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So Gilmar is still at the other side
of the wall and Blair has come down.

43:24.280 --> 43:28.000 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
And Blair thinks his brother Gilmar
will be able to take on that wall on
his own.

43:28.000 --> 43:32.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
He should be able to.
It's over 3.5 metres high.

43:32.559 --> 43:35.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The Mahers making good progress.
A smaller wall.

43:35.559 --> 43:37.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Lariche is isolated at the moment.

43:37.519 --> 43:40.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And what's happening here with Blair
and Nathalie,

43:40.639 --> 43:43.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
as Gilmar struggles to get over this
wall.

43:43.400 --> 43:47.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It's going wrong for the Mandiangus
at this point in the Eliminator.

43:47.239 --> 43:50.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The Mahers being told not to look
behind.

43:50.000 --> 43:52.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And the Mandiangus gonna try
something here.

43:52.199 --> 43:56.280 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Blair is standing on his mum Nathalie
to try and get to the top of the wall

43:56.280 --> 43:59.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
to help Gilmar get across.
The Mandiangus are losing time.

43:59.840 --> 44:02.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The Mahers' lead is growing at the
moment

44:02.119 --> 44:05.519 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but the Mandiangus, it's all gone
wrong for them at this wall.

44:05.519 --> 44:07.840 line:83% position:50% size:80%
That is a real shame.

44:07.840 --> 44:11.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The Mahers all together.
They're up to this cargo net climb.

44:11.800 --> 44:14.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
If they don't make a mistake from
here, it should be enough.

44:14.599 --> 44:16.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But Lariche is all on her own at the
moment

44:16.599 --> 44:19.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and Gilmar still can't get over that
wall.

44:19.599 --> 44:21.719 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The Mandiangus got their tactics
wrong.

44:21.719 --> 44:26.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Lariche will go on alone, but it's a
lonely place for her at the moment.

44:26.239 --> 44:28.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
All four members of the Maher family
together

44:28.320 --> 44:30.760 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and Gilmar still can't get across.

44:30.760 --> 44:33.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Nathalie and Blair trying to figure
it out.

44:33.440 --> 44:37.440 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They need to stay cool and calm now
but the pressure is growing,

44:37.440 --> 44:42.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and Gilmar hasn't been able to get
over that wall on his own.

44:42.199 --> 44:46.800 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Here come the Mahers, two-thirds of
the Eliminator behind them.

44:46.800 --> 44:52.159 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
Just slow and steady should take them
to the finish line and to the top of
those hay bales.

44:52.159 --> 44:55.519 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And now Nathalie is standing on top
of Blair's shoulders,

44:55.519 --> 44:57.840 line:83% position:50% size:80%
trying to get Gilmar across.

44:57.840 --> 45:01.599 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
So Nathalie up at the top of the
wall.

45:01.599 --> 45:04.679 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
They are battling and fighting their
way through this Eliminator.

45:04.679 --> 45:08.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
That's not going to work either.
Nathalie comes back down.

45:08.159 --> 45:11.400 line:83% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: That's it, come on! Grab it!

45:11.400 --> 45:13.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And now the Mahers, well,
they're taking their time.

45:13.840 --> 45:16.159 line:83% position:50% size:80%
They cannot afford a mistake.

45:20.119 --> 45:20.360 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Blair is gonna jump on Nathalie's
back. Oh my word!

45:20.360 --> 45:23.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Blair is gonna jump on Nathalie's
back. Oh my word!

45:23.920 --> 45:27.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But Blair has got to the top of the
wall

45:27.199 --> 45:31.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and now reaches down to try and drag
Gilmar to the top.

45:31.079 --> 45:32.079 line:83% position:50% size:80%
It's all gone wrong for them.

45:32.079 --> 45:35.320 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Nathalie taking this on on her own.

45:35.320 --> 45:38.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The tactics went awry for the
Mandiangu family.

45:38.639 --> 45:42.519 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
But do you know what? They will
battle and fight all the way to the
end.

45:42.519 --> 45:46.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
It may not be enough to give them
a future in the competition,

45:46.920 --> 45:48.440 line:83% position:50% size:80%
but now it's not really about that.

45:48.440 --> 45:53.559 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Although the Mahers...well, Fionn is
having a problem at that last wall

45:53.559 --> 45:56.800 line:83% position:50% size:80%
as Nathalie gets over that hay bale.

45:58.440 --> 46:02.119 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
The Mandiangus will have nightmares
about that wall.

46:02.119 --> 46:07.000 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
Can they make up the huge gap that's
between themselves and the Maher
family?

46:07.000 --> 46:11.239 align:middle line:70% position:50% size:80%
Well, the Mahers are losing time on
that wall as Fionn is dragged to the
top.

46:11.239 --> 46:14.519 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
That is the last wall for the Mahers,
and Fionn has got over it.

46:14.519 --> 46:17.719 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Nathalie Mandiangu is still driving
forward,

46:17.719 --> 46:19.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
still taking on this Eliminator
course.

46:19.960 --> 46:23.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
All the Mahers have to do now is get
to the top of the hay bales

46:23.960 --> 46:26.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
and they are through,
they have won.

46:26.199 --> 46:28.719 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
There they are, all four members of
the Maher family.

46:28.719 --> 46:31.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Maebh, Fionn, Nick and Cara,
they've won the race.

46:31.320 --> 46:32.639 line:83% position:50% size:80%
They are through.

46:32.639 --> 46:37.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
But the Mandiangus...well, other
families would stop and give up,

46:37.079 --> 46:39.719 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but these guys haven't.
They have battled away.

46:39.719 --> 46:42.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Sure, they got it wrong on the big
wall,

46:42.199 --> 46:44.639 line:83% position:50% size:80%
but it was a race too far for them.

46:44.639 --> 46:47.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Devastated that we didn't make it
through to the semi-finals.

46:47.920 --> 46:52.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: Big smile, come on.
We're nearly there. You can see her.

46:52.480 --> 46:56.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I'm absolutely gutted.
I'm gutted to be out.

46:56.159 --> 46:57.519 line:83% position:50% size:80%
It's too soon for us to be leaving,

46:57.519 --> 46:59.920 line:83% position:50% size:80%
but, as they say, it is what it is.

46:59.920 --> 47:02.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We shouldn't put the heads down.
We achieved something.

47:02.400 --> 47:04.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We came this far. A lot of people
didn't make it this far.

47:04.400 --> 47:05.880 line:83% position:50% size:80%
So I'm happy with what we did.

47:05.880 --> 47:07.400 line:83% position:50% size:80%
MAIREAD: I know you're disappointed,

47:07.400 --> 47:11.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but it's nice to see some smiles on
your faces at the end of all that.

47:11.840 --> 47:13.679 line:83% position:50% size:80%
You were brilliant as a family,

47:13.679 --> 47:18.360 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but Nathalie, you were a bit of
a hero there today. (She laughs)

47:18.360 --> 47:20.360 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Yeah, thank you! Yay!

47:21.440 --> 47:23.760 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Blair, what did you do?

47:23.760 --> 47:28.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Yeah, I almost broke her back.
She used her back as a ladder.

47:28.320 --> 47:31.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
If it wasn't for her, we wouldn't
have completed the Eliminator.

47:31.079 --> 47:34.280 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
She's the one. She sacrificed
herself to get the brother over.

47:34.280 --> 47:36.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Have you anything you want to say to
your mum? Thank you.

47:36.920 --> 47:40.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We wouldn't have got this far if it
wasn't for her, to be honest.

47:40.320 --> 47:42.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
And I appreciate it. Thank you.
It's okay.

47:42.000 --> 47:44.000 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Aw, well done, guys.

47:44.599 --> 47:46.599 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Thanks, Derval. Thank you.

47:49.719 --> 47:53.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Absolutely ecstatic. I cannot
believe we got that.

47:53.400 --> 47:54.840 line:83% position:50% size:80%
Well done, guys. Congratulations.

47:54.840 --> 47:57.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
You are going to the semi-final of
Ireland's Fittest Family.

47:57.400 --> 47:59.719 line:83% position:50% size:80%
How does that feel? Brilliant.

47:59.719 --> 48:03.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
ANNA: He was a lot more vocal as he
was climbing up the bales earlier on

48:03.039 --> 48:06.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
so he's trying to relax now!
That was the nice part.

48:06.039 --> 48:09.199 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Did you have a clear plan?
Or was it just 'go for it'?

48:09.199 --> 48:11.039 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Like, we had a plan for over the
walls,

48:11.039 --> 48:14.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
but the rest of it was just like
'just go as hard as you can'.

48:14.159 --> 48:17.480 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Anna's plans worked so well.
Her tactics were just brilliant.

48:17.480 --> 48:22.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Anna, another semi-final. You could
be grabbing that title yet again.

48:22.239 --> 48:24.519 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Semi-finals! That is what it's all
about.

48:24.519 --> 48:27.960 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
One step closer to the
Ireland's Fittest Family final.

48:27.960 --> 48:31.079 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
I'm on course, the Mahers are on
course, so I'm happy.

48:31.079 --> 48:35.000 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Well, that was one hell of a day here
in Co Wicklow.

48:35.000 --> 48:37.159 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Congratulations to Anna Geary and the
Mahers,

48:37.159 --> 48:39.519 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
who have powered through to the
semi-finals.

48:39.519 --> 48:41.920 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
We have to say a very sad goodbye to
the Mandiangus,

48:41.920 --> 48:44.400 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
who head back to Tallaght with their
heads hell high

48:44.400 --> 48:46.480 line:83% position:50% size:80%
and their nails still intact!

48:46.480 --> 48:49.639 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
Next week, we're back here for our
second quarter-final.

48:49.639 --> 48:51.639 line:83% position:50% size:80%
We'll see you then.

48:54.880 --> 48:58.119 line:83% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: There we go, there we go!

48:59.000 --> 49:02.239 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Brilliant!
ANNA: Great finish, well done!

49:02.239 --> 49:03.840 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DERVAL: Move it, come on!
DONNCHA: Go, go, go, go, go!

49:03.840 --> 49:07.320 align:middle line:77% position:50% size:80%
DONNCHA: Lads, lads, lads, you're
making a meal of this. COME ON!

49:24.840 --> 49:27.719 align:end line:70% position:50% size:80%
